[Corpora-List] syllable count from text

[Bruce L. Lambert, Ph.D.]

In English a simple vowel count does surprisingly well. Add a few
exceptions for silent "e" and common double vowel sequences and for "y"
acting as a vowel, and you can do even better. I have a Lisp function that
does this, but Viktor's module is probably easier to use for most people.
